I believe the rear sway bar bushings Upgrade gives you 1.5 hp and if you upgrade the front sway bar bushings you get another 2 hp, so if you replace both front and rear that is a nice 3.5 hp gain
I’ve tried literally everything to get the bolt out from the middle of the leafs. It refuses to break free so I can slide the mini pack in anyone heave any help? 5:49
Some people drive slowly backwards in the driveway ( in a straight line) and then slowly back up which self centers the axle. But either way you should take it for an alignment after the lift is on.
I'm on a budget so I'm building the truck little by little. It still looks better leveled than not. I plan on running 33's or 35"s when it's done. These tires are 1/2 taller and 1/2 wider than the stock ones.
Sorry, I misread you question. I thought you meant 2" lift. The wheels and tires on my truck are off a 2016 F250. they have a different backspacing so they rub without spacers.
@@evans_7.3 I’ve never had an add a leaf on any truck I owned but I would think it might help. There’s not much too review. It settled maybe 1/4 in, doesn’t make noise, rides slightly rougher but no big deal. That’s about it.
@Scrapyard Builder, with the rough country leveling kit is it possible to pull out or use less leaves than is provide. For example I only want 1” of lift so I would need to pull out 2 leaves from the rough country pack. Thank you
You could unbolt the kit and rebolt however you want. I’m not sure about the threads on the U bolts. You might have to reuse factory U bolts. You might have to cut the bolt holding the pack to the spring.

Hey buddy 03 250 here I have leaf springs all the way around I’m running 40/14.50/20 I wanna lift it up some more should I run the level kit or add blocks? I don’t have any blocks on it now Please someone respond
When you lift the truck, the trac bar isn’t long enough because the mounts for it are now farther apart. If you use the stock bar it pulls the axle over so it’s not centered under the truck perfectly. The adjustable one is longer so the axle stays where it should be.

I’ve been watching quite a few ball joint and suspension videos. Thanks for not beating things with a hammer
Great video thank you for the step by step details
Your welcome

why does it not look any different im about to buy the same kit comes with leaf springs and shocks and its 2.5" i guess idk is it worth it?
How to you know you have the axle in the center after you install the adjustable trac bar

Hi. How come you put 2" wheel spacers on with stock wheels. Thanks

Did the truck generally level itself out after a few days bc I did it to mine and it’s an inch squatted
It settled a little bit. maybe your rear springs are sagging.
@@scrapyardbuilder1989 maybe, do you think an add a leaf in the rear would help? And would you mind making a review and update video?

How r your spacer holding up? Also are they hub centric?
They are hub centric. No problems. I haven’t put on the rears yet. The rear are not hub centric. The salesman said it’s ok but I just couldn’t do it.

@@charlesstahlheber5457 I plan on getting new rims eventually. What exactly happened?
Hey buddy
03 250 here I have leaf springs all the way around
I’m running
40/14.50/20
I wanna lift it up some more should I run the level kit or add blocks?
I don’t have any blocks on it now
Please someone respond
When I was researching this lift some reviews said it helped their sagging springs. Maybe that info can help you make your decision.
What’s the adjustable trac bar do?
When you lift the truck, the trac bar isn’t long enough because the mounts for it are now farther apart. If you use the stock bar it pulls the axle over so it’s not centered under the truck perfectly. The adjustable one is longer so the axle stays where it should be.
@@scrapyardbuilder1989 how bad is it to use the stock track bar.
What size tires are you running in the vid
275/65R18
can I ask the reason for the straps ? thanks
I’m trying to remember; I think when I did the first side the leafs wanted to spread outwards so I had to ratchet strap them back.
@@scrapyardbuilder1989 thanks man. I am planning on doing this in next few days. Appreciate the quick response
How's it handle? Any issues ?
No problems. I got an alignment after. Handles good.
